My challenge to everyone of you. Every leader, every future leader, everybody who will lead this industry one day: when we get back to normal, whatever that will look like, get personally involved again with recruiting, hiring and mentoring. DO NOT leave personnel decisions to HR, alone. DO Not rely on the parasitic temp agencies like creative circle and Aquent to do all the work. Get involved. Give a damn. A creative leader saw value in me, l assume someone saw value in you too. Pay it forward.

HR is so iffy it honestly never occurred to me to NOT do this. How would you feel any sense of agency+allegiance to your team if you didn’t?

Bigger challenge: Support, listen to, pay, and promote your female, LGBTQ, and BIPOC peers. Everyone happily jumps on board with supporting fresh young faces whom they can project their own hopes and aspirations onto, but most seem to lose interest once those individuals gain enough experience and perspective to start having opinions, asking questions, or posing a competitive threat.

I heard that this is a real thing. ”Back-loading? In example: listing jobs that don’t ”actually ” exist. Have heard that recruiter doesn’t know that they may be listing non-existent positions?

Furthermore, when did a ”junior” position start as 2+ years of experience? And interns as 1+years of experience?

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
